Program change on MP3

Since the mold was broken by eject retract with a part still on it.  Temporarily we have changed the PLC program on press 3 with added safe guards to prevent mold from retracting the ejectors if the you do not have vacuum confirmation and there is a back check on the vacuum sensor to make sure the switch is adjusted properly.  Multi-eject, Y up after eject,  and eject retract before X back has been disabled.  We will work on a better solution as time allows.

MP-16  Wouldn’t shoot. One of the nozzle heater bands was bad, but it didn’t help that they heated the nozzle with a torch ( Sanaprene ). Needless to say,

       It was like concrete. I took the nozzle & adapter apart & cleaned. Reinstalled with new heater bands & a tip with a larger oraface.

 

MP-3  Breland said he wanted clippers set up for the canister. We looked at it & talked to Jerome. He said it would be easier to break the runner off & use

       a heat gun on the stress mark.

FW: New Star XQ-600V

To change the cycle start timer in the new Star XQ-600V press “maint” and “down arrow” till you see RY3 OFF Timer.

Mp3 had some problems with nozzle heats running to 485 and the set point was 450. The contactor was good. Done some tweeking with the offset and gain. Still no good. I eliminated 2 bands as someone had crammed too many bands on a long nozzle extension and a long nozzle tip causing degradation of material causing splay That’s why I was called there for in first place. Heats are consistent now.

 

Worked on PMs

4.9/10.11 D-shift Sean (Weekend)

Mp#7- replaced all the nozzle bands and thermocouple from a bleedoff. Mp#16- replaced the nozzle band and removed bleed off. Mp#12- Checked all of the heater bands on the barrel (at Potter's request). Also hooked up the dewpoint meter to see if dryer was working correctly. I did find some loose heaterbands on the nozzle, but all of the barrel bands were good. Mp#23- Replaced the conveyor drive belt on one of the small conveyors. Installed the lockouts on the E-stop pushbuttons until I ran out of them. I still need several more to have them installed on all presses. Repaired the heat guns that were in the shop. Both had bad heaters and one of them needed brushes. Checked operation and tagged them, located them in the auxilliary equipment area in molding. Mp#8- Verified the core sequence switch was right for the old fan mold (Potters's request). Replaced nozzle heater bands on this one also. Mp#5- rebuilt the core cylinder on non-operator side. Reinstalled only to find the pull switch was bad. Broke it off in the plate when I tried to remove it and had to pull the plate and core back off again. Got that fixed and then the machine started alarming prefill valve did not open in time. I zeroed the tonnage offset and checked comm vec values for that problem and it started working good after that. I did take some photos of the classic IML station and started putting the door latches on the R2 IML station but kept getting interupted. Call if you have any questions or just want to touch base.

MP-3  Replaced the mercury contactor on the front zone.

MP-6  Vacuumed oil pan – AGAIN -  We have another motor & pump in the bunker – just need the time & man power to put it in.

I’ve been checking the vacuum sensors on the phaser robots- found three of them adjusted too high. They need to be setting these up for each eoat.

MP-10  I tried out the prototype part for the nut press , it looks like it will work fine.

MP-2 They hung the main frame & the core plugs were missing again. Also one of the hydraulic quick-connects was broke off, and the eject. back safety

         switch wire was mashed between the mold & platen, other than that, it was in great shape.

MP-2  Small blowback- took out nozzle heater band & fuse.

MP-1 Blow back- Pulled nozzle wires apart. It had a ¾ tip on it & the mold was ½” . I thought they were going to make them all ¾ .

Power outage- Tripped the north buss breaker & shut down the compressor. Reset.

I put gear oil in MP-2,3,& 4.

MP-5 Core plugs on the mold were broken. I hard wired them in to get them going. Will change them out when they pull it.

MP-4 I had no signal from the input card for Y reference. I pulled one out of MP-3 & tried it, worked fine. I put the one I thought was bad in MP-3- It ran good.

         It must have been a bad edge connection.                                                                                                                                                                           MP-8  Core not moving—Had a bad quick connect.

MP-5  The core cylinder on the non-operator side blew a seal . I pulled the cylinder & put it in the shop. Sean was repairing it when I left.
